The interactions of ruthenium(II) complex with Glucose inhibited division protein A (GidA protein) was studied through various spectroscopic techniques with the ultimate goal of preparing adducts with good selectivity for cancer cells. In all the cases, formation of a tight metal-protein conjugate was observed. The influence of pH, reducing agents and chelators on the formation of adduct was analysed by UV- visible spectroscopy. While there was no effect on the addition of sodium ascorbate, some alterations on some selected bands were seen on the UV-visible spectra on the addition of EDTA. The adduct was stable in the pH range of 5-8. Addition of ruthenium(II) complex effectively quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of GidA and it occurred through static quenching. The effect of ruthenium(II) complex on the conformation of GidA has been examined by analyzing CD spectrum. Though, there was some conformational changes observed in the presence of ruthenium(II) complex, α- helix in the secondary structure of GidA retained its identity. Molecular docking of ruthenium(II) complex with GidA also indicated that GidA docks through hydrophobic interaction. The stable semisynthetic complex (ruthenium(II) complex with GidA) was checked for topoisomerase II inhibition. Relaxation and decatenation assay proved topoisomerase II inhibition of semisynthetic complex.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Four photosensitizers PS1a-PS4a consisting in multicationic ruthenium(II) phthalocyanines (RuPcs) have been evaluated in photodynamic inactivation (PDI) of multiresistant microorganisms. The RuPcs, bearing from 4 to 12 terminal ammonium salts, have been designed to target the microorganisms cytoplasmic cell membrane and display high singlet oxygen quantum yields. In addition, PS3a and PS4a were conceived to exhibit multi-target localization by endowing them with amphiphilic character, using two different structural approaches.

Adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) plays a pivotal role as an essential intermediate in energy metabolism, influencing nearly all biological metabolic processes. Cancer cells predominantly rely on glycolysis for ATP production, differing significantly from normal cells. Real-time in situ monitoring and rapid response to intracellular ATP levels offers more valuable insights into cancer cell physiology.

The five-coordinate complex [RuCl(PNP)] () was synthesized from the binuclear [RuCl(-cym)] with a PNP-type ligand (PNP = 3,6-di--butyl-1,8-bis(dipropylphosphino)methyl)-9-carbazole - (Cbzdiphos )H) in a toluene solution, within 20 h at 110 °C, producing a green solid, which was precipitated with a 1/1 mixture of - pentane/HMDSO. The complex was characterized by NMR-H, C, and P{H}, mass spectroscopy-LIFDI, FTIR, UV/vis spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry, as well as a description of the optimized structure by DFT calculation. The reactivity of was investigated in the presence of potassium triethylborohydride (KBEtH, in THF solution of 1.

Herein, the photophysical, photochemical properties and photogenerated excited state dynamics of two new Ru(II) complexes, viz. [Ru(p-ttp)(bpy)(PTA)]2+ [1]2+, [Ru(p-ttp)(phen)(PTA)]2+ [2]2+ having a phosphorus-based ligand PTA [p-ttp = p-tolyl terpyridine; bpy = 2,2'-bipyridyl; phen = 1,10-phenthroline and PTA = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane] are reported. Upon excitation with 470 nm LED, [1]2+ and [2]2+ neither undergo ligand release nor exhibit room temperature luminescence/1O2 generation.
